Instant gratification

Have you ever had a time where someone was talking and they said something and things just clicked? Well that happened to me the other day. I was in a converstion with some people and this guy was talking and I don't even rememember what he was talking about but he mentioned the words Instant gratification and things inside me just started clicking together and I realized that I am a person that wants instant gratification. I can see it all over in my life. In my finances, my relationships, personal life, spiritual life. There is so many things I do just to instantly satisfy and want that i have.

Ever since this time I am able to say no to more and more things cause I am realizing that I will be ok without that want. Realizing this is helping me in so many areas of my life. It is just so unbelievable what simple little things can do.

A life time

What is life time? We are born, live a while, then die. This is a quote or the essence of a quote I heard off of a movie I eatched tonight. After it was quited I started to think about the middle part of it. We live a while. What are we doing while we live. Everyone is born and everyone dies but not everyone truly lives. We have one lifetime to live, to truly life, to fulfill a purpose. We have one lifetime to find our purpose and fulfill it. We have one lifetime to truly live life. I am starting to see the difference between living and truly living. In the last couple of weeks I have started to get such a passion burning inside me that i haven't had for really long time. I am starting to get my excitment back and i am starting to come alive and to truly live. I encourage you to do the same.

As I lay in the woods....

I was at a bible study tonight and i was listening to a homeless guy talk about his experience of homelessness. It was amazing!!! He has been homeless for a couple of weeks now and he was telling us about how he lost his job and didn't have any money and had to go to the woods.

He went on to say "As I lay in the woods and look up in the sky I prayed to God and asked him to take care of him" As I was listening to him he really made my passion for these people become more real. It also helped me see how blessed I am. I have a roof over my head and i am not sleeping on the ground outside with animals and bugs but i am in a house with a bed and air conditioning. I am in a "safe" place. I have walls and doors that protect me. It really gave me my passion back and helped me see that i do have a purpose down here and I am starting to see what it is.
